About the course

Mathematics is the tool we use to solve many of our practical problems. In A Level Mathematics, you will learn many new algebraic techniques, then use these to model data and make predictions. Mathematicians play a key role in government strategy, analysing data and statistics. Build upon the skills you learnt at GCSE and expand your analytical and problem-solving skills including geometry, sequences, algorithm, integration and statistics.
